IF anyone knows the order that these vacuum lines go in, it'd be greatly appreciated. I'm guessing it goes, white, yellow, pink. They connect right underneath the throttle body. Here are some pics for clarification.



And does anyone know what the hell this is? Or what it was...? Is it just a ground that broke?

Haha, you don't sound like an a**, and I did check the FSM to no avail.

Thank you so much.

I have one other problem. My car is throwing a code 35 up (EGR temp sensor) But ONLY at idle, if I rev it to anything past 1000 it goes away, but the second it goes back to 650-1000 it turns back on. Possibly because the vacuum lines were wrong?

Maybe it's the ground that isn't connected? Can I just connect the ground to an intake manifold bolt where it connects to the head or does it have to go to a specific area?

That ground is your injector ground.

It's quite possible that the messed up vacuum lines are causing the EGR to malfunction. You should post pics of where the hoses come from, never seen them color coordinated like that.

Edit: Page 8 of EF&EC you didn't look very hard.

I did find that in the service manual actually, it's just I was looking for more of a color coded deal since mine is.

Can the injector ground go to the head? Or does it even matter

It goes to the head. If you pull that wire towards the front of the car, it should line up with a bolt hole. Here's a pic from the FSM. It's not much help, but you get the idea.
